Playboy of the Capital

In the magical Yarran World, a group of extraordinary professionals ventured into dangerous places for knowledge, wealth, thrill, and honor, exploring secrets hidden in the depths of time. Coexisting with dangers, they were given a fitting name—adventurers.
With so many adventurers around, there would be a few oddballs, of course. Take for instance, the swordsman who used to be a thirsty hedonist and now spent his days looking for ways to put his life in danger; the knight who saw gold coins as his ultimate pursuit; the schizophrenic and overly curious priest, and the genius mage who was prone to zoning out and could not care of himself. What kind of strange stories would these kooky individuals create when they came together?
Alright, all the above are just nonsense. In truth, this is a casual story of an abnormal, unscrupulous middle-aged man and a few problematic girls undergoing self-therapy- I mean, seeking redemption.
You have been solemnly warned that this story is purely fictional. If there is any glaring similarity, you probably need self-therapy too.

Yarra's Adventure Notes

Today, Manias Street has once again become the focal point for the City of Knowledge newspapers, as Marquis Snape's intimate dinner party is held on this street for the first time in several years. The clouds of war hover over the Yarran World, and although the inside information has not been disclosed to the public, many with keen senses have already smelled foreboding omens. There is a growing pessimism among those in the know about the outcome of this war, fearing the reemergence of the tragedy that occurred over a century ago with the Return of the Dead. This pessimism, originating from these informed individuals, continues to spread outward, and if left unchecked, widespread panic will inevitably ensue. Therefore, the upper echelons of various powers urgently need opportunities to demonstrate their stability and confidence. Only by conveying this confidence to the public can they alleviate the public's fears and dispel the slowly emerging panic.
